Our assessment of knx-mcp-community
knx-mcp-community scores 76/100 on our quality scale, 2567th of 2,882 Automation skills we index.
Its MCP Server is 7.4 KB long, well organised into 10 sections and no code examples: a thorough specification that gives an agent plenty to work with.
It has 10 GitHub stars, so there is little community track record yet; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated 4 days ago, so knx-mcp-community is actively maintained.
- No license is declared. By default that means all rights are reserved: you can read it, but reusing or redistributing it is not clearly permitted. Ask the author before building on it commercially.
- Its trust signals score 85/100, with 1 caution from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

Skill content
View source on GitHubKNX-MCP is an ETS App that connects an open ETS project to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude, Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the official ETS SDK.
This repository is the public community space for questions, bug reports, feature ideas, setup help, reusable skills and release information. It does not contain the source code of KNX-MCP.
| | | |---|---| | Current version | 1.1.0.0 · Release 1 — validated by KNX | | ETS support | ETS5 (5.7 or later) and ETS6 | | Availability | Currently available free of charge in the KNX Online Shop | | Website | https://knx-mcp.com | | Publisher | Gerald Docenko |
Start in four steps
- Get KNX-MCP from the KNX Online Shop and install the ETS App.
- Open an ETS project and choose Switch project MCP on in KNX-MCP.
- Under Server settings → Client configuration, copy the setup for your MCP client. Keep the access key private.
- For your first session, enable Read-only mode and try:

App releases and downloads
A 1.2.0.0 community issue plan tracks incoming feedback and proposed tests. This version is planned, not yet released.
KNX-MCP app versions are distributed only through the KNX Online Shop (MyKNX). The version history and GitHub Releases provide release information; no KNX-MCP ETS App installer or application source code is hosted here.
What KNX-MCP does
KNX-MCP works with the project data that ETS itself provides — without exporting a separate project copy.
- Read and inspect building structure, topology, trades, functions, group addresses, devices, communication objects, parameters, history and the ETS to-do list.
- Find group addresses from natural language, including room names, common synonyms and typical actions such as switching, dimming or reading status values.
- Check the project for typical inconsistencies and suspicious configurations.
- Change the project: create or update rooms, group addresses, devices, links, parameters, trades, functions and to-do items.
- Work with the KNX bus through ETS: monitor telegrams, read and send values, identify devices and scan a line.
- Use several open projects and several AI clients at the same time in ETS5 and ETS6.
You stay in control
Permissions are configured per project and per tool:
- Allowed — the tool may run directly.
- Confirmation required — KNX-MCP asks in the ETS panel before execution.
- Blocked — the tool cannot run.
A project-wide read-only mode disables changes and bus writes. Project changes are created as named ETS undo steps. Device programming is blocked by default.
Data and privacy
KNX-MCP runs locally inside ETS. By default, its MCP endpoint is reachable only from the same computer.
KNX-MCP does not operate a publisher cloud service through which project data is routed. Project data is provided only to the MCP client that you connect. If that client uses a cloud AI provider, the provider's own terms and privacy rules apply.
Optional network access can be enabled explicitly. The KNX-MCP endpoint uses plain HTTP, so remote access should be limited to a trusted network or VPN and protected with the configured access key.

Skills
The skills/ directory contains two starting examples for read-only project overviews and read-only group-address reviews, plus guidance for contributing reusable prompts and AI-client workflows. These skills are optional, project-independent and do not bypass KNX-MCP permissions.
Languages
English is used as the primary documentation language so the material is useful internationally. Questions and contributions in German or English are welcome.
A short German overview is available in docs/README-de.md.
